It sounds absolutely heartbreaking, but so rewarding to raise the bottle-fed puppies. Two years ago, we had a cleft palate born here at Timbreblue. Most breeders would have put her down, but Walt tube-fed her round the clock until she was 14 weeks old and ready for surgery. The experts at Virginia Tech fixed her, and now she is a bratty, sassy, healthy little "teenage" whippet. The bond that is formed through intensive care lasts forever. -Jo Johannah Layson Hutchens Gagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04446844932740450853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6917193040797301247.post-52719060067686997582013-03-29T23:28:24.515-04:002013-03-29T23:28:24.515-04:00I went through a very similar ordeal in 1998 with ...I went through a very similar ordeal in 1998 with my friends who were the owners of the mother of my 2 now very senior boy and girl. She had 7 puppies naturally and 4 by C section. We fed them around the clock for the first 4-5 days because her mild didn't drop and within the first 2 days we lost the 4 that were C section. The vet had used the wrong anesthesia and they bled out. It was heartbreaking. The bond that was formed with the bottle feeding was and still is treasured. I won't ever forget that I helped my kids make it through their first crucial hours and days. Good luck. They are beauties.Clarence Gelwicksnoreply@blogger.com
